Speaking of French bleus - this is me gazing out the living room window wistfully at the junk food/candy store on the corner. I have ventured out to the postbox to mail off your paintings. Fortunately no junk food urges overtook me at the time. Whew!

French bleu...fantastique! These are all so beautiful, Carol. Years ago I attended Le Cordon Bleu School of Cuisine in Paris...which is why I am a Francophile. The logo is blue, the famous ribbon is blue and I have learned somewhere along the way that a blue kitchen brings the chef bon chance! Needless to say my kitchen and French porcelain is BLEU!Carry on blue.

Love the French Bleu! I visited Bleu de Lectoure, a wode factory in the south of France, in September. I'm generally not a blue fan, but I fell in love with the ancient process and the color it resulted in.

Oh happy days you're feeling better enought to book a trip. Of course I might just limp over to Paris if it were me. :) Lovely post. all paintings. You know I have had to add blue to my decor since coming here regularly.

I was delighted to come across your wonderful blog - from a remote farm in Ireland (sounds romantic but is cold and muddy!)I dream of my fleeting 24 hour visits to Paris planning what to wear, where to go and remembering my parents who spent a lot of time there. Have you read 'The Ballard of Bouillabaisse' by William Thackeray- who wrote Vanity Fair? Next trip 2nd April - quelle joie!

Thank you for your lovely comment on my blog! I have long been a popper-in to yours. Love, love, love your style, fabulous watercolours and quirky/funny take on all you write about. And Paris and Venice in one trip? Almost more excitement than one can bear - enjoy! - and I so look forward to the pics.

Hi I'm Carol Gillott,
My Mom taught me watercolors at 5. I'm still at it but now tripping over cobblestones on l'Ile Saint-Louis In Paris. Savor Parisbreakfast with a hot chocolate and croissant.
I paint Paris dreams.
